I love my new 455, too. It is the easiest saw to start that I have. I start it from the standing position because it starts so easy. Several pulls in full choke and it rolls over. Several pulls in high speed and she is running. I have cut up to 24 inch maple with the 455 with no difficulty. It is also lighter than my other 56 cc class saws and is more powerful than my ms 290. I am very pleased with my 455 Rancher.

this may be a dumb question but curious why you pulled the pull cord out just a little before killing it?

Great videos. You're a true diagnostician, a lot art. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to pass on your education!

My Husqvarna has been the best chainsaw I have ever owned! To all of you Stihl lovers, my Husky eats them up period!! RPM's cut wood and Husqvarna's eat through wood while your Stihl's do nothing but bog down. Anyone that bashes these saws have never owned one or never maintained the one they did own. You simply cannot compair any other saw to these! Like anything, you must MAINTAIN it. It cannot sit for 7 years and without being used then you all complain about it leaking fuel or oil.

Led Zep in the background and that pull starter trick - great vid!!

I'm interested (not to press the point to aggravate, but out of sincere curiosity), in asking you to explain how MORE "wear" is achieved by NOT holding the Starter Cable out when shutting down the saw. Perhaps you could take a moment to explain the mechanics of this concern?

24 inch with skip chain and yes it has the power to pull it. Keep the chain sharp! SK

they went so dam cheap I'll just keep running the 61.&41.

My ms291 has an 18" bar but I tried one of my 24" bars on it and it has all kinds of power to pull it, just don't need a bar that big. Always used a 18 in bar on my saws because it just suits me better because maybe the biggest logs I cut are 18 inches or 20. The ms291 is a great saw in my logging business, it's my go to saw. 291 is a 56cc saw.

Some people have said they had problems with brand new ranchers.

I got a 240 husky had nothing but problems with it sheared off flywheel replaced 2timesthen it wouldn't run at all took apart ring was cracked but I never seen the plastic looking veins on the cylinder I wondered how the heck it would build any compression at all wish I could find another cylinder to replace that thing know of any that will interchange? I got a 265 special has been a great saw like your videos

10 yrs old and still fires on the 3rd or 4th pull. STIHL is better but this one runs awesome especially in the cold down to like zero F. I have Always used canned pre- mix. Like I said 10 yrs and never been to a shop.

Joel Heaton what about the 10 hour carb adjustment? Should I not take my 455 in for that?

Less wear on the starter when shutting down, SK

livin, lovin, she's just a woman! woo zeppelin

Looking for a set of bigger falling spikes for a 550xp. Grandmaster can you make this happen?

Added a 24" bar with skiptooth chain on mine. Runs good. Was thinking about taking the spark arrestor out. Will I need to touch my carb after I remove it?

Looks nice, I think I'll just keep running the 55. Keep the chain sharp and the tanks full, haven't had to adjust it in 6 years.

Same here. 61.

plastic isnt the main issue people have with saws now its the emissions laws they have to go by now if u know what ur doing u can make these newer saws really show u what their capable of doing if u know what ur doing if not u will destroy the saw

I know for a fact that I was a Stihl defender until I owned a husky 435 then Husky 450 rancher ...I never looked back....Stihl has copied the anti vibration from husky and a number of other features.

I won't buy a Stihl based strictly on color. Who in their right mind would put white on a piece of equipment that's gonna get oil and gas spilled on it and eventually turn yellow over time? Even the older blue ones are a better idea than white.

Where did you get those dog's ?

which is better this or the Stihl MS290 Farmboss. And is this a 2 ring cylinder

Did those double dogs come standard? Mine only came stock with one.

Hi Chainsaw guy. Hope you see this soon. We've spoke on the phone a couple times. I repair small engines in VA. Anyway I was wondering if you knew the part numbers for the TWO different size clutch tools for Poulans. I have one which fits the smaller clutches (with the 2 spanner type round nubs on them. I went to work on a PP5020AV and the span was not wide enough. Problem is when you go to buy them online they all look the same without part numbers. I measured 24mm from ctr to ctr I just dont remember if thats the one I have or thats the larger size I need. Can you help?

I want My Rancher to be hotrodded for display use only!

Hey where do I buy your tool for the gas line and the oem gasoline for the 455 rancher

Inside the clutch cover is a plastic piece over the tensioner spring. What is the size of those screws part No. 503217010?

How about fixing the chain oiler?

Anybody know where to get galling spikes like that for a 460 rancher

Wow, I was set on the 455 but after seeing these comments and hearing some on forums as well, I'm gonna go with Stihl

Nice video. Thorough yet short. Good stuff. Great saw.

@crazyjdkid the 455 rancher is a 1 ring piston and the stihl ms290 is a 2 ring and to say which 1 is better is a arguement that will go on for years all saws have their good and bads about them. i own both a 455 husqvarna and a stihl 029 super (same as the ms290). I have done a few mods on the 455 and nothing to the 029. Just remember if u do any mods to a saw be sure to have the carb set right dont want to lean it out to much it will destroy the piston.

Would that be a good firewood saw I would probley use it Dailey

Were did you find dual dawgs?

what happens if you're bucking and falling at the same time, do the spikes still work? Or are the spikes only for bucking and falling, separately. Can you buck and fall, or do you have to fall and then buck? Makes you wonder...

is that in new condition radugan

I have the same saw. Seems like I'm getting just enough oil to the chain. Mine heats up after non stop cutting. But it's a good saw no issues. If I hear anything I'll let you know

tu for the responce.

Where are you located sir

I bought the 455 Husqvarna rancher saw in 2015, Billings Mt. eleven months later the oil leaks started. the dealers repair mans' wife said we don't do warranty's, we don't get paid! So I gave it back to the dealer's saw man who said he would take care of the warranty and repair the saw. they told me it had bailer twine wrapped on the drive shaft. it cost me $124.50 to get it back. now laying on my steel flat bed truck for months the oil leak has spread out to 40 inches x 54 inches.

Did i hear a crying baby?

That could be, but this saw is only 9 months old. Husqvarna support is terrible, they act as if they never heard of this problem and send me to a local repair place that has a very bad reputation. NOT BUY A HUSQVARNA

I have that same problem with a older 55 and you can rev it up and let off and it changes rotation I think it's the rod stretched But it did it when it was new ?????

My455 leak bar oil. I've try the help line, its useless. This is a Great saw but I can stand oil everywhere. SO. unless Huqvarna step up and fixes this dam thing I'm going to junk it soon. Don't buy this one

Ok, I give..........why are you pulling out the starter cable, when you are shutting off the saw? Educate me. Thanks.

nutmegger1957 sometimes when shutting off it can kick back and try and pull the rope in. After awile it can break the starter assembly. A lot of 2 cycle engines will do it

If you don’t know how to start a chainsaw you shouldn’t operate one. Dumbass.

The oil hose needs replaced. It gets hard and leaks. SK

I noticed that you never talked about the chain brake. What a poor design. Take the cover off and hope you don't lock the bar.

Hello, There is an upgrade for this model,it does help get oil to b/c, Call 541-863-5387

I prefer Poulan® or Stihl®

Just go cut some wood and stop already with all the complaining. Husky Sthil Ford Chevy etc silly bantering. Get to work!
